Best for
  • AI agents that need offline, low-latency, local memory.
  • Developers who want to avoid LLM calls during memory storage and recall.
  • Projects requiring persistent memory, knowledge graphs, or Hebbian learning.
  • Teams using Zenoh, ROS2, or robotic mission memory.
  • Teams already using ClickHouse who want AI assistants to access data directly.
  • Scenarios requiring fast, read-only data queries and schema exploration.
Not for
  • Users seeking a hosted cloud memory service or built-in multi-tenant authorization.
  • Applications expecting the server itself to perform LLM inference.
  • MCP clients operating without an available local backend.
  • Workflows that only need simple stateless text processing.
  • Scenarios requiring write access to the database without explicit opt-in.
  • Production environments with stringent security requirements that avoid default permission settings.
Required permissions
  • Access to read and write Shodh-Memory's local memory data.
  • Permission to launch the npm package and local MCP server over stdio.
  • Network access to the address specified by SHODH_API_URL when using a remote backend.
  • SHODH_API_KEY when authentication is enabled; this variable is secret.
  • The tools can create, modify, and delete memories, todos, projects, reminders, and backups.
  • Requires read-only access to ClickHouse database (default).
  • Optional: write access via CLICKHOUSE_ALLOW_WRITE_ACCESS.
  • Optional: destructive operations via CLICKHOUSE_ALLOW_DROP.
Risks and side effects
  • Memories, todos, projects, and backups may contain sensitive information and persist locally.
  • forget, delete, purge, and backup_restore can cause data loss or overwrite data.
  • For remote deployments, the deployer must protect the API key and network exposure.
  • SHODH_USER_ID is a logical memory namespace, not an authorization tenant.
  • A local model is downloaded on first run, requiring local resources and model storage.
  • If write access is enabled, AI might make unintended modifications.
  • If DROP access is enabled, data deletion could occur accidentally.
  • Credentials may be exposed via environment variables.
